Coulter- still on crazy pills

[Pippin]

Posted: 4/20/07 at 4:40pm

this is the newest entry.

ok- first of all, Annie, Eve was the first to eat the apple, as all good Christians who actually read thier Bibles know, you penis-hating dyke.

Second- Yeah, let's just have everyone walking around campus with guns, so that in the event of arguments in or out of the classroom, we can just settle them like adults in a Jon Woo Movie.


"From the attacks of 9/11 to Monday's school shooting, after every mass murder there is an overwhelming urge to "do something" to prevent a similar attack.


But since Adam ate the apple and let evil into the world, deranged individuals have existed.

Most of the time they can't be locked up until it's too late. It's not against the law to be crazy -- in some jurisdictions it actually makes you more viable as a candidate for public office.

It's certainly not against the law to be an unsociable loner. If it were, Ralph Nader would be behind bars right now, where he belongs. Mass murder is often the first serious crime unbalanced individuals are caught committing -- as appears to be in the case of the Virginia Tech shooter.

The best we can do is enact policies that will reduce the death toll when these acts of carnage occur, as they will in a free and open society of 300 million people, most of whom have cable TV.

Only one policy has ever been shown to deter mass murder: concealed-carry laws. In a comprehensive study of all public, multiple-shooting incidents in America between 1977 and 1999, the inestimable economists John Lott and Bill Landes found that concealed-carry laws were the only laws that had any beneficial effect.

And the effect was not insignificant. States that allowed citizens to carry concealed handguns reduced multiple-shooting attacks by 60 percent and reduced the death and injury from these attacks by nearly 80 percent.

Apparently, even crazy people prefer targets that can't shoot back. The reason schools are consistently popular targets for mass murderers is precisely because of all the idiotic "Gun-Free School Zone" laws.

From the people who brought you "zero tolerance," I present the Gun-Free Zone! Yippee! Problem solved! Bam! Bam! Everybody down! Hey, how did that deranged loner get a gun into this Gun-Free Zone?

It isn't the angst of adolescence. Plenty of school shootings have been committed by adults with absolutely no reason to be at the school, such as Laurie Dann, who shot up the Hubbard Woods Elementary School in Winnetka, Ill., in 1988; Patrick Purdy, who opened fire on children at Cleveland Elementary School in Stockton, Calif., in 1989; and Charles Carl Roberts, who murdered five schoolgirls at an Amish school in Lancaster County, Pa., last year.

Oh by the way, the other major "Gun-Free Zone" in America is the post office.

But instantly, on the day of the shooting at Virginia Tech, the media were already promoting gun control and pre-emptively denouncing right-wingers who point out that gun control enables murderers rather than stopping them. Liberals get to lobby for gun control, but we're disallowed from arguing back. That's how good their arguments are. They're that good.

Needless to say, Virginia Tech is a Gun-Free School Zone -- at least until last Monday. The gunman must not have known. Imagine his embarrassment! Perhaps there should be signs.

Virginia Tech even prohibits students with concealed-carry permits from carrying their guns on campus. Last year, the school disciplined a student for carrying a gun on campus, despite his lawful concealed-carry permit. If only someone like that had been in Norris Hall on Monday, this massacre could have been ended a lot sooner.

But last January, the Virginia General Assembly shot down a bill that would have prevented universities like Virginia Tech from giving sanctuary to mass murderers on college campuses in Virginia by disarming students with concealed-carry permits valid in the rest of the state.

Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker praised the legislature for allowing the school to disarm lawful gun owners on the faculty and student body, thereby surrendering every college campus in the state to deranged mass murderers, saying: "I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus."

Others disagreed. Writing last year about another dangerous killer who had been loose on the Virginia Tech campus, graduate student Jonathan McGlumphy wrote: "Is it not obvious that all students, faculty and staff would have been safer if (concealed handgun permit) holders were not banned from carrying their weapons on campus?"

If it wasn't obvious then, it is now."



ugh.

Oh, Ann. You crack me up, you silly tw*t.

Oh how I loath this "woman" (and yes you may quote me on this!)

[BigFatBlonde]

Posted: 4/20/07 at 4:49pm

Coulter is crazy. No doubt.

But I THINK Adam ate the apple. Eve tempted him.

[Kringas]

Posted: 4/20/07 at 4:49pm

I sure do hate me some Ann, but does anyone else see the bitter irony in using the word "dyke" to refer to her?

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 4/20/07 at 4:49pm

If you actually read ALL OF THAT in order to savor that Coulter fresh fart smell you might want to check if you aren't insane. Don't hate...IGNORE.

Edit: Ignore Coulter, not Pippin.

Genesis Chapter 3, verse 6: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

You are probably right, Pippin.

The Bible mentions nothing about an apple. The term that is used is "fruit".

Since it is believed that the Garden of Eden was in Iraq, my guess is that it might have been a fig.

This makes NO SENSE!!! Guns do not belong in a school! I was an RA in college and had to bust a lot of people for drinking or smoking pot on campus. I'm not entirely sure I want drunk or high people with concealed guns mad at me.

And that last sentence makes me want to vomit. What a f-cking idiot. Because clearly if a student had a gun that day, said student could have hunted down the killer and taken him out, thus saving all those lives.

I don't know where she gets the vitriolic bulls--t that she spews daily.

Thanks, Borstal. I was hurt for a moment.

I think Ann Coulter is running for the Republican nomination for President of these United states.

Viva L'Ann.

Soooo....is that a shout out to her commander in chief? Or she is planning to run for something?

Can you imagine what things would be like if everyone were allowed to carry a gun at all times? I think it might go a little something like this:

"I saw that parking space first!" -- BLAM!

"What are you, blind, ref? That call sucked!" -- BLAM!

"Give my kid an A!" -- BLAM!

Etc, etc...

I LOVE Ann Coulter.
Seriously.
I just absolutely adore her.

She reminds me that I still am actually a quite balanced and nice person.

[Mister Matt]

Posted: 4/20/07 at 5:45pm

Well, who didn't see that one coming? I'm surprised it took her this long to find a way to piss all over the friends and families of the victims.

The best way to stop senseless shooting is to SELL MORE GUNS!!

See you next Tuesday!

Eve did eat the fruit first, but the directive of not eating from the tree was given by God to Adam--not to Eve (who most likely passed it on to Eve). It is clearly implied many times in the old and new testaments that Adam is blamed for the fall of mankind, not Eve.

From a theological standpoint, it is Adam's eating of the fruit that matters, not Eve's--so Ann is right there (but not about it being an apple of course, but that has always been the "default" fruit).

Interesing in that a thread regarding Ann Coulter mentions "adam's apple."

[Mr Roxy]

Posted: 4/20/07 at 6:29pm

She does have a prominent one doesn't she?

[Rose_MacShane]

Posted: 4/20/07 at 7:11pm

She's not called Mann Coulter for nothing.

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 4/21/07 at 1:06am

Yeah, um, you guys (except goth) know there WAS no Adam and there WAS no Eve and there WAS no Garden of Eden and it WASN'T in Iraq and there was no fruit, right? RIGHT?

Of course.

The Bible is entirely fictional. Except for the parts that aren't.

I must say that she used to really get me going, but now I appreciate her b/c she makes me laugh. We were all so upset about her rhetoric a few weeks ago, but she has so far off the deep end now (between this and the genocide rant) that she is just a parody of a arch right conservative.
